Dublin to Host Major Conference on Copyright and Artificial Intelligence
NewsBrands Ireland and the Irish Music Rights Organisation (IMRO) have announced they will host a joint conference in Dublin to discuss the future of copyright law in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The event aims to bring together industry experts, legal professionals, and journalists to address the challenges that new technology poses to creative industries.
As AI tools become more common, there is growing concern about how these systems use existing content. The conference will focus on how news publishers and artists can protect their work when it is used to train AI models. This is a significant issue for Irish media companies that rely on original reporting and creative content to inform the public.
Speakers at the event will explore the balance between encouraging technological innovation and respecting intellectual property rights. They will also discuss potential new regulations that could be introduced at both a national and European level to ensure that creators are fairly compensated for their work.
This conference highlights the increasing importance of digital ethics in Ireland. With Dublin serving as a major hub for global technology companies, the discussions held during this event could influence how AI is regulated across the country and the wider European Union.
The event is expected to attract a wide range of professionals interested in the intersection of law, technology, and media. By fostering this conversation, the organizers hope to create a clearer path forward for protecting the rights of Irish journalists and creators in an increasingly digital world.
